Upon announcing the cancellation of his tour dates earlier this month, Bradley had vowed to "fight through this like I've fought through the many other obstacles in my life" and said that the support of his fans "truly lifted me up and kept me going. With God's will, I'll be back soon". According to a statement, Bradley passed in Brooklyn "surrounded by family and friends including members of the bands he worked closely with: Menahan Street Band, His Extraordinaires, Budos Band and the Jimmy Hill Allstarz-his band from his time performing as Black Velvet".

In lieu of flowers, donations are to be made to All-Stars Project and Music Unites. Mr. Bradley toured for a while as the opening act for the late Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, delivering his unique brand of soul, with lyrics that touched the heart and soul.
